Centerchem – FDA EIR, Jul 8, 2009

An FDA inspection of CenterChem, Inc., located in Norwalk, CT, was conducted on July 8, 2009. The inspection was carried out under the regulatory framework of CP7303.803, focusing on Domestic Food Safety for FY 2009.

CenterChem operates as a corporate office only, managing sections of various storage facilities across the U.S. No physical storage or product manufacturing occurs on-site at the Norwalk location. The company specializes in wholesale distribution of ingredients for food additives, cosmetic products, and pharmaceuticals, as well as biochemical diagnostic test kits and reagents. These are primarily ingredients supplied to other manufacturers for further processing into finished retail products.

This limited-scope inspection specifically assessed the corporate headquarters. Notably, the inspection revealed no objectionable conditions or significant issues. Consequently, no FDA Form 483, which documents observed deficiencies, was issued to CenterChem, Inc. The inspection concluded with a "No Action Indicated" (NAI) classification, meaning no regulatory or enforcement actions are required from the company based on this inspection. The company's profile in the FACTS system was updated to reflect its status as a corporate office only.
